Very true. 

 

Although the Panthers are in such a lucky position right now to have two stud defensive tackles ready to go. I feel like most teams would kill just to have one. 

I think last night goes to show why its inportant to have depth there

 

some teams are one injury away to having their entire defense compromised because of a weak core up the middle. Its not cliche, it all starts on the DL.

Except the question I asked.

You're missing the entire point. Whether is 6 weeks or 6 months, this isn't to be taken lightly in terms of depth and development of a 1st round draft pick. Not sure what your motive is in creating a discussion out of this.

You missed his point about rotations. You can't judge the backups when the entire 2nd or 3rd team defense is on the field. Norris or Mayo or Butler or McCray may have played well as the backups, but they aren't 11 guys, so you can't judge them on the entire 2nd team. Unless you think we will ever have a time when our entire starting D is out of the game, it's apples to oranges. If Mayo/Norris/Cash have to come in for a game or Butler has to come in for a game of McCray has to come in for a game, it makes a huge difference if they are next to 9 or 10 starters instead of next to 9 or 10 backups.

Anyway, Butler was limited last year. Only played 21% of the snaps, although I think his upside last year was 40% at most since Love was there and Star/Short played around 70%. That said, we need him healthy. I don't expect him to play 70% this year, but based on preseason, I expected him to have a big impact and knock on wood, he will.

It is funny how anyone who puts Gettleman in their post about Butler seems to imply he's injury prone after an illegal block.

I didn't miss his point. If you go back to the original point I made that he created a discussion out of he is dodging my original question and concern.

I never implied Butler was injury prone. I was stating that we have yet to see anything noteworthy out of a first round pick and that this injury is not helping his cause for development or our depth. If you think this won't affect our ability to maintain an elite defense you're soundly mistaken. His point about rotating guys isn't in question. It was actually my original point to begin with. Butler being out leaves us with much less inferior rotational options and when he does come back he will have several weeks of missed opportunity for growth.

Honestly, I have no clue what you two are even attempting to discuss at this point.

Yeah, not to be a Debbie downer but I think kb's acl tear was also first described as a sprain... So hoping for the best but not relieved yet

Don't tell that to some of these literal folk on here.

 

I don't believe any opinionated  reports until I actually hear something physiologically based on some type of imaging/screening done by a medical professional.

Plenty of guys have walked off the field only to be diagnosed with a torn ACL. You can casually walk around on a torn ACL, it's your knee's lateral stability that's gone.

Bingo. Just because you are weight bearing on it doesn't make it stable for the game of football.

He probably will play week one and I hope he stays healthy and is super productive over the next several years for us. I just don't see this being a 2 week story.

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
